Out surfing the 'net tonight I run across a great blog for desserts called Chocolate Covered Katie. First thought, "OH Boy... I am in TROUBLE". The recipes are all healthier and you know how I love that! I was having quite a sugar attack myself (...stupid sugar) and felt like I NEEDED a treat BUT the hubby and I are in a no sugar no starch challenge right now so that means whatever I find and cook has to fit that bill, gluten free, starch free, no added sugars. How do you get a cookie with that??? Enter in Chocolate Covered Katie to my rescue! I admit that I modified the recipe a bit for my own use but you can find the original here:

Here is my version:
- 1/4 cup Naturally more Peanut Butter
- 1/2 individual serving box of raisins
- 1/8 tsp. vanilla
- 100 calorie pack of dry roasted almonds
- 1/2 tsp. Cocoa powder (doesn't take much for me)
- 1/8 tsp salt
see that? No sugar (added anyway), no flour-fits my needs to a T.
- throw everything in a food processor (I used a blender and I don't recommend it)
- process until smooth
- form into cookies and eat or cool or save for later if you can!
I realize these look odd..as most things that come out of my kitchen BUT don't always judge a book by it's cover, for a NO SUGAR these are REALLY tasty, I think I could even get Gray to eat them and most of you know what kind of feat that is!
Enjoy!
